Ivy Terrace at Garden Grove Memory Care sits on two acres at 11848 Valley View St in Garden Grove, California, all fenced in with big gardens, walking paths, and sunny patios where people can stroll safely or just sit outside for some fresh air and quiet. The community focuses on people living with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, offering care that fits each person's cognitive needs, and the staff's there around the clock with many caregivers having over ten years' experience. The building's got secure setups, alarms for wandering, technology like bracelets that alert staff if someone goes off course, and a layout made for folks with memory loss, including companion suites, bedrooms, bathrooms, activity rooms, media rooms, indoor and outdoor spaces, plus private and communal dining areas where a chef serves meals fit for special diets like low salt, gluten-free, diabetic, and vegetarian.
Ivy Terrace at Garden Grove is part of Ivy Living Communities and is licensed as an RCFE, so residents can get different types of help, whether they need medication reminders from nursing staff, help with daily living, or hospice care. The place is pet-friendly and they'll help with pet care, so people can keep a dog or cat, and the area's non-smoking inside but has garden spots for fresh air. The SPARK program runs daily, with memory activities, stretching, art, music, brain fitness, yoga, and even outings or trips, plus things like gardening clubs, intergenerational programs, and trivia. Residents of all needs, from light to heavy care, get behavioral and safety support-with secure doors, a gated property, and a computerized system for keeping residents from wandering into danger.
The staff includes on-site RNs and LPNs, medication managers, and licensed pros who help with personal care and cooking, all supervised so people get the right amount of support whether it's short-term respite or a permanent home. Indoor spaces include cable TV lounges, gallery spaces, and a salon for hair or beauty services, and religious services happen both on and offsite. There's transportation for shopping or doctor visits, and people can park if they need, or visitors can stay overnight. The floor plans are designed for easy movement and feature companion suites if needed. The community only allows female and male residents, and the place keeps a calm, home-like feeling, with a secured perimeter to ease stress or worry, and special care for those who wander, act out, or need extra attention. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are offered, and you can set up private housekeeping if you like. Ivy Terrace at Garden Grove Memory Care aims to keep residents safe, comfortable, and as active as they're able with programs and support planned just for them.
